Abstract

"MAN PUT HIS TONGUE AGAINST REFRIGERATOR PIPE AND GOT IT FROZEN; HAVE THAWED IT OUT AND IT IS NOW BLISTERED AND SWOLLEN BUT NOT PAINFUL. ARRIVING HONOLULU FRIDAY; HOW CAN I HELP HIM MEANWHILE?" Thus read a message relayed via radiogram across the ocean to the physician stationed at the Seamen's Church Institute's (SCI) KDKF radio station, established by the Institute in 1920 on top of its thirteen-story seafarer services center at the southern tip of Manhattan. Though radio was in its infancy, radio telegraphy had already proven its revolutionary power, featuring prominently in far more serious maritime emergencies such as the sinking of Titanic. SCI's KDKF radio station aimed to address a less dramatic but no less important problem in blue water navigation: access to medical care.

海上远程医疗服务的早期创新:KDKF无线电医疗站。
“一个人把舌头贴在冰箱的管子上,把管子冻住了;我把它解冻了,现在它起了水泡,肿胀了,但不疼。星期五到达檀香山;与此同时,我怎样才能帮助他呢?”就这样,我读到了一条信息,它通过无线电波穿越大洋,传送给了驻扎在海员教会研究所(SCI) KDKF电台的医生。该电台是该研究所于1920年在曼哈顿南端的13层海员服务中心的顶层建立的。尽管无线电还处于起步阶段,但无线电电报已经证明了它的革命性力量,在像泰坦尼克号沉没这样严重得多的海上紧急情况中发挥了突出作用。SCI的KDKF电台旨在解决在蓝水航行中一个不那么引人注目但同样重要的问题:获得医疗服务。
